Bedwetting

• Cause:

Bedwetting in children may be due to immature nervous system due to which the child is not able to feel that his bladder is full.

Sometimes it is also because of small bladder due to which the bladder is not able to hold all the urine produced during the night.

In a very rare case it may be due to some defects in the urinary system.

Some medical conditions like urinary tract infection, constipation, diabetes, sickle-cell anemia or epilepsy may also cause bedwetting.

Hormonal factors, wherein there is inadequate antidiuretic hormone. This hormone reduces the amount of urine produced by the kidneys.

Spinal cord abnormalities.

Genetic factors.
